Ubuntu priority
containerd is a container runtime. A time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability was found in containerd v2.1.0. While unpacking an image during an image pull, specially crafted container images could arbitrarily modify the host file system. The only affected version of containerd is 2.1.0. Other versions of containerd are not affected. This bug has been fixed in containerd 2.1.1. Users should update to this version to resolve the issue. As a workaround, ensure that only trusted images are used and that only trusted users have permissions to import images.

Traditionally the containerd source package contained both the library and docker application. However, in releases that contain the containerd-app source package, the containerd source package contains only the library whilst the docker application itself is contained in the containerd-app package.
